Question
Assume equilibrium exists for the reaction shown below. One of the
statements regarding equilibrium is incorrect. Which one?
H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) = 2HCl(g)
O The rate of reaction H2 + Cl2 --> 2HCl equals the rate of reaction 2HCI --> H2
+ C12
There is no observable change in the system as time evolves
O The rate of the reaction H2 + C12 --> 2HCl is zero; that is, the reaction'does not
occur
The concentrations of H2, C12, and HCI stay constant
